The Aspen Institute College Excellence Program invited Northeast Wisconsin Technical College to become part of the Presidents & Trustees Collaborative.
NWTC is among 10 community colleges nationwide invited to participate in this first cohort. The collaborative also includes statewide partnerships with the Texas Success Center and the Michigan Community College Association. Participants will work with Aspen to scale high-impact board development and advance governance reforms that embed student success as a core priority.
This multi-year initiative will engage college leaders through in-person and virtual sessions focused on aligning governance practices with student success priorities.Guided by Aspen’s trustee framework and insights from Aspen Prize-winning institutions, participants will explore proven strategies for boards and presidents to collaborate effectively, build strong governance structures, and drive long-term student success.
NWTC President, Dr. Kristen Raney, said, “This is a tremendous opportunity for our Board and leadership team to build on our commitment to putting students first and to learn alongside other leading colleges across the country. Strengthening our governance and leadership practices ensures we can continue to deliver the highest level of education and opportunities for our students and the communities we serve.”
